Music plays an important role in our lives, especially the lyrics. This blog will display the lyrics of my favorite songs. I am descended from a sept of the clan Gunn of Scotland, so I will post a lot of Scottish folk song lyrics. Enjoy.

THE BLACK DOUGLAS(Roy Williamson/George Weir)

There was a man sae dark and true wha Scotland loo’ed sae dearThere was a king wha lang will rue the Scots wha flayed him sairGan cry the hounds o’ Douglasvale, gan string the Ettrick bowGan warn the spears o’ Liddiesdale that Edward leads the foe

He won his spurs doon by St. Bride upon the green she freeHe held the leopard and the tide by the field o’ LintounieGan shine the shield yer father bore, gan strike yer metal freeGan shine the helm yer father wore by the field of Torwoodlee

He rode yin nicht when it was mirk doon by the leopard’s lairHe chased the tyrant in his shirt around the field sae fairGan pack yer bags ye English loons, gan tak ye banners hameGan tak yer king wha sought oor croon and lost the bloody game
